It's perfectly okay to create quick and easy cards. It's better to have them completed and sent on to the recipient than waiting for perfect inspiration or just the right supplies. Like today's card, which is a simple Valentine for a special person. We all want to hear that someone cares for us and remembers us. This card took only a few minutes to make, but it can put a smile on a loved one's face for hours. P.S. Valentine's Day is … [Read more...] about Simple Is Good
January-April Catalog
Be Mine
The Hearts of Elegance bundle is in our Online Exclusives section of our store. This bundle does not appear in our regular catalog. Instead it's available through our online store. I paired the bundled with our brand new gift bags. The gift bags come in a pack with two different sizes. This is the smaller gift bag. I left the top open so I can add some treats to it. The mini gold heart that I used is self-adhesive. The hearts are out … [Read more...] about Be Mine
Last of the Seagulls
Today is the last of my Seagull projects for now. I thought it would be really cute to have them standing on those pilings you see in the water near a dock. I'm sure the birdie in the back is hoping the guy with the fries is going to share. The Friendly Seagull stamp set is one of the FREE stamp sets you can get for Sale-A-Bration with a $60 purchase (pre-tax/shipping). We still have another few weeks of Sale-A-Bration but you don't want to … [Read more...] about Last of the Seagulls

Potatoes
Potatoes are one of those miracle foods that can become so much more. They can be baked, mashed, and fried. Turned into soup, bread or pizza crusts. They can even be turned in to drinks - hello, vodka. So if someone tells you that you remind them of a potato, that's a good thing. They obviously think you can be anything you want to be. If you're wondering where you can get a stamp that has French fries in it, it is one of the newest … [Read more...] about Potatoes
Monarchs Are My Favorite
I've been to several butterfly gardens through the years. Seeing them up close is absolutely amazing. And seeing so many of them all at once is stunning. If you stand still long enough, they will even land on you. Every time Stampin Up releases a new stamp set with butterflies, I'm definitely going to buy it. Especially a stamp set with matching dies. I just can't resist how pretty they are. When you purchase this bundle, you are almost … [Read more...] about Monarchs Are My Favorite
Beautiful Butterflies
Welcome to the January-April Catalog. I've had my box of new goodies for a few weeks now, but haven't really had a chance to play with my new stuff. I took some time this past weekend to break out some new Sale-A-Bration products along with the Beautiful Butterflies bundle. This bundle included a matching die set that is quite extensive. This set includes a die that will die cut a butterfly in the front panel of the card. This is a really cool … [Read more...] about Beautiful Butterflies
